1And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first, that he went through the corn fields; and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing them in their hands. 2And certain of the Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days? 3And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read so much as this, what David did, when himself was an hungred, and they which were with him; 4How he went into the house of God, and did take and eat the shewbread, and gave also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat but for the priests alone? 5And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath. 6And it came to pass also on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught: and there was a man whose right hand was withered. 7And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath day; that they might find an accusation against him. 8But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man which had the withered hand, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth. 9Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it? 10And looking round about upon them all, he said unto the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he did so: and his hand was restored whole as the other. 11And they were filled with madness; and communed one with another what they might do to Jesus. 12And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.
13¶ And when it was day, he called unto him his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles; 14Simon, (whom he also named Peter,) and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew, 15Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alphæus, and Simon called Zelotes, 16And Judas the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, which also was the traitor.
17¶ And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judæa and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases; 18And they that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed. 19And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went virtue out of him, and healed them all.
20¶ And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God. 21Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh. 22Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man’s sake. 23Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets. 24But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation. 25Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep. 26Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.
27¶ But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, 28Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you. 29And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloke forbid not to take thy coat also. 30Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again. 31And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise. 32For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them. 33And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same. 34And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again. 35But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. 36Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. 37Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: 38Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. 39And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch? 40The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master. 41And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye? 42Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother’s eye. 43For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 44For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. 45A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.
46¶ And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? 47Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like: 48He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock. 49But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.

1Tsiku lina la Sabata Yesu ankadutsa mʼminda yatirigu, ndipo ophunzira ake anayamba kubudula ngala zatirigu, namazifikisa mʼmanja mwawo ndi kumadya. 2Ena mwa Afarisi anafunsa kuti, “Kodi nʼchifukwa chiyani mukuchita zosaloledwa pa tsiku la Sabata?”
3Yesu anawayankha iwo kuti, “Kodi simunawerenge zimene Davide anachita pamene iye ndi anzake anali ndi njala? 4Iye analowa mʼnyumba ya Mulungu ndipo atatenga buledi wopatulika anadya amene ndi ololedwa kudya ansembe okha. Ndipo anaperekanso wina kwa anzake.” 5Kenaka Yesu anawawuza kuti, “Mwana wa Munthu ndi Ambuye wa Sabata.”
6La Sabata lina Iye analowa mʼsunagoge kukaphunzitsa ndipo mʼmenemo anapeza munthu wadzanja lolumala. 7Afarisi ndi aphunzitsi amalamulo ankamuyangʼana kuti apeze chifukwa Yesu, choncho anamuyangʼanitsitsa kuti aone ngati Iye akanamuchiritsa pa Sabata. 8Koma Yesu anadziwa zimene ankaganiza ndipo anati kwa munthu wadzanja lolumalayo, “Tanyamuka ndipo uyime patsogolo pa onsewa.” Choncho iye ananyamuka nayima pamenepo.
9Kenaka Yesu anawawuza kuti, “Ndikufunseni, kodi chololedwa pa Sabata ndi chiti: kuchita chabwino kapena kuchita choyipa, kupulumutsa moyo kapena kuwononga?”
10Iye atawayangʼana onsewo, anati kwa munthuyo, “Wongola dzanja lako.” Iye anaterodi, ndipo dzanja lake linachiritsidwa. 11Koma iwo anapsa mtima nayamba kukambirana wina ndi mnzake chomwe akanamuchitira Yesu.

Gulu lalikulu la ophunzira ake, gulu lalikulu la anthu ochokera ku Yudeya konse, ku Yerusalemu ndi ochokera mʼmphepete mwa nyanja ya Turo ndi Sidoni anali pomwepo. 18Iwo anabwera kudzamvetsera ndi kuchiritsidwa ku matenda awo. Osautsidwa ndi mizimu yoyipa anachiritsidwa, 19ndipo anthu ankayesetsa kuti amukhudze chifukwa mphamvu imatuluka mwa Iye ndi kuchiritsa onse.
20Akuyangʼana ophunzira ake, Iye anati,
“Odala ndinu amene ndi osauka,
chifukwa ufumu wa Mulungu ndi wanu.
21Inu amene mukumva njala tsopano, ndinu odala
chifukwa mudzakhutitsidwa.
Inu amene mukulira tsopano, ndinu odala
chifukwa mudzasekerera.
22Ndinu odala, anthu akamakudani,

ndi kumayipitsa dzina lanu chifukwa cha Mwana wa Munthu.
23“Nthawi imeneyo sangalalani ndipo lumphani ndi chimwemwe chifukwa mphotho yanu ndi yayikulu kumwamba. Pakuti ndi zomwezonso zimene makolo awo anachitira aneneri.
24“Ndinu atsoka, anthu olemera,
popeza mwalandiriratu zokusangalatsani.
25Tsoka inu amene mukudya bwino tsopano,
chifukwa mudzakhala ndi njala.
Ndinu atsoka, amene mukusekerera tsopano,
chifukwa mudzabuma ndi kulira.
26Ndinu atsoka, anthu akamakuyamikirani,
popeza makolo anu anawachitira aneneri onama zomwezi.”
Kukonda Adani
27“Koma Ine ndikuwuza inu amene mukundimva: Kondani adani anu, chitirani zabwino amene amakudani. 28Dalitsani amene amakutembererani, apempherereni amene amakusautsani. 29Ngati wina akumenyani patsaya limodzi mupatseninso tsaya linalo. Ngati wina akulanda mwinjiro wako, umulole atenge ndi mkanjo omwe. 30Mupatseni aliyense amene akupemphani kanthu ndipo ngati wina atenga chinthu chanu, musamulamule kuti akubwezereni. 31Inu muwachitire anthu ena, zomwe mukanafuna kuti iwo akuchitireni.
32“Ngati mukonda okhawo amene amakukondani, mwapindula chiyani? Ngakhale ‘ochimwa’ amakonda amene amawakondanso. 33Ndipo ngati muchita zabwino kwa amene ndi abwino kwa inu, mwapindula chiyani? Ngakhale ‘ochimwa’ amachita izi. 34Ndipo ngati mukongoza amene mukuyembekeza kuti abweza, mwapindula chiyani? Ngakhale ‘ochimwa’ amabwereketsa kwa ochimwa anzawo, ndipo amayembekezera kubwezeredwa zonse. 35Koma kondani adani anu, achitireni zabwino, akongozeni koma osayembekezera kulandira kanthu. Pamenepo mphotho yanu idzakhala yayikulu ndipo inu mudzakhala ana a Wammwambamwamba, chifukwa ndi wokoma mtima kwa anthu osayamika ndi oyipa. 36Khalani achifundo, monga momwe Atate anu ali achifundo.”
Za Kuweruza Ena
37“Musaweruze, ndipo inu simudzaweruzidwa. Musatsutse ndipo inu simudzatsutsidwa. Khululukirani ena ndipo mudzakhululukidwa. 38Perekani ndipo mudzapatsidwa. Adzakupatsani mʼthumba mwanu muyeso wabwino, wotsenderezeka, wokhutchumuka ndi wosefukira. Pakuti muyeso umene mumagwiritsa ntchito, ndi omwewo adzakuyeserani.”
39Iye anawawuzanso fanizo ili, “Kodi munthu wakhungu angatsogolere munthu wakhungu mnzake? Kodi onse sadzagwera mʼdzenje? 40Wophunzira sangapose mphunzitsi wake, koma yense amene waphunzitsidwa bwinobwino adzakhala ngati mphunzitsi wake.
41“Kodi ndi chifukwa chiyani mumaona kachitsotso mʼdiso la mʼbale wanu ndi kusasamala mtengo uli mʼdiso mwanu? 42Kodi munganene bwanji kwa mʼbale wanu kuti, ‘Mʼbale nʼtakuchotsa kachitsotso mʼdiso mwako,’ pamene inu eni ake mukulephera kuona mtengo uli mʼdiso mwanu? Inu achiphamaso, yambani mwachotsa mtengo uli mʼdiso mwanu, ndipo kenaka mudzaona bwinobwino ndi kuchotsa kachitsotso mʼdiso la mʼbale wanu.”
Mtengo ndi Zipatso Zake
43Palibe mtengo wabwino umene umabala chipatso choyipa, kapena mtengo oyipa umene umabala chipatso chabwino. 44Mtengo uliwonse umadziwika ndi chipatso chake. Anthu sathyola nkhuyu pa mtengo waminga, kapena mphesa pa nthungwi. 45Munthu wabwino amatulutsa zinthu zabwino zosungidwa mu mtima mwake, koma munthu oyipa amatulutsa zinthu zoyipa zosungidwa mu mtima mwake. Pakamwa pake pamayankhula zimene zadzaza mu mtima mwake.
Womanga Nyumba Wanzeru ndi Wopusa
46“Kodi nʼchifukwa chiyani munditchula kuti, ‘Ambuye, Ambuye’ koma simuchita zimene Ine ndinena? 47Ine ndidzakuonetsani mmene alili munthu amene amabwera kwa Ine ndi kumva mawu anga ndi kuwachita. 48Iye ali ngati munthu womanga nyumba, amene anakumba mozama nayika maziko ake pa mwala. Madzi osefukira atabwera ndi mphamvu, nawomba nyumbayo koma sinagwedezeka, chifukwa anayimanga bwino. 49Koma amene amamva mawu anga koma osawachita, akufanana ndi munthu amene anamanga nyumba yake koma yopanda maziko. Nthawi yomwe madziwo anawomba nyumbayo, inagwa ndipo inawonongekeratu.”
